I’m always amazed at how powerful simple innovations can be. Kenrick Mock from the University of Alaska in Anchorage is an HP Technology for Teaching grant recipient and avid Tablet PC user – and has created a simple (and free!) applet that highlights your cursor while making presentations so everyone can see WHERE you are about to draw…
The applet is called “Pen Attention”, and it changes the ink pointer from a nearly invisible “dot” to a highlighted dot or one of two visible icons. Kenrick mentioned it in a comment to my March posting about ZoomIt, but I thought I would highlight it here, just in case you missed it.
It’s free! Give it a try by going to Kenrick's blog, http://www.math.uaa.alaska.edu/~afkjm/techteach/?q=node/52. Then let us know what you think!
Thanks for the great (and simple) contribution, Kenrick!
